All New Themes and Venues for 2024!

It was an honor to celebrate many ERS corporate and church partners who have collectively contributed $230,000 in sponsorship support.  The impact they have on the lives of older adults permeates all areas of ERS through their work and service. Because of them, we are Better Together.

Guests left their mark on a one-of-a-kind piece of art that will be unveiled publically at the final gala series event, All a Flutter, and eventually hung in an Affordable Living community.  It is titled Kaleidoscope. 

Did you know that a swarm of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope?  It is thought to be an auspicious sign of future happenings.  We are grateful to our partners for being part of great things to come for ERS.

The Lindner Quality Milk Company was housed in a 1920s dairy barn as part of Mary Emery’s vision to create the Village of Mariemont.  Fully refurbished, it is now home to the Women’s Art Club of Cincinnati.

The monarch butterfly…so beautiful and seemingly fragile, yet so strong and resilient in the face of adversity… will serve as the evening’s backdrop at The Barn, one of twelve stops for the nationally renowned Cherrywoods Challenges Fiber Arts exhibit.

The evening will kick off with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the gallery with an exhibition of artwork from around ERS.   Following a sumptuous dinner, featured entertainment will be provided by ERS program partner Pones, an organization dedicated to creating engaging new ways for audiences to experience performance art.  Their interpretive dances will be based on transformative moments in the lives of four older adults served by ERS, each metaphorically representing a stage in the monarch life cycle. This will be a magical performance unlike any other.
